Spanish Language

I visited Madrid, Spain to attend the Football match between two arch-rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona with no knowledge or not even little know-how of Spanish words. I had no idea how difficult it is going to get for me. I almost missed the match because I got lost somewhere and could not ask someone where I was. 

Now I have made my mind that I will pick Spanish as a second language in my university to improve my Spanish speaking. I want myself to become an intermediate Spanish speaker so that I could write a dissertation on my unforgettable trips and cultures of Europe.
